No Bake Key Lime Pie Or Parfaits Food

NO-BAKE KEY LIME PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Place the graham crackers and brown sugar in the bowl of a food processor. Process until finely ground, about 1 minute. With the processor running, slowly pour in the melted butter. Process the crumbs until they are the texture of coarse sand. Transfer to a deep 9-inch pie plate. Using the bottom of a measuring cup, press the crust into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Press firmly to pack and make an evenly thick crust. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
• For the filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer using a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer with beater attachments), whisk the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Transfer to another bowl and set aside.
• In the same stand mixer bowl, place the sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese and lime zest. Using the paddle attachment, beat on medium-high speed until smooth and well mixed, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Turn the mixer to low speed and slowly add the key lime juice. Increase the speed to medium and mix until well combined. Remove from the stand mixer and gently fold in the whipped cream.
• Transfer the filling to the pie crust and smooth into an even layer. Refrigerate for 12 hours.
• Serve topped with additional whipped cream and lime zest.

KEY LIME PIE LUSH

Steps:

• Spray an 8-inch square baking dish lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the butter, granulated sugar and 1 1/2 cups of the crushed graham crackers in a medium bowl. Press the mixture into the prepared baking dish and freeze for 15 minutes to set.
• Combine the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, salt, lime juice and two-thirds of the zest in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Fold in 3/4 cup whipped topping to lighten. Pour the filling over the crust and smooth with an offset spatula. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to partially set.
• Meanwhile, mix the instant pudding powder, milk and key lime juice in a bowl. Whisk until thick, about 2 minutes. Pour over the filling. Top with the remaining whipped topping, cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to set.
• Top with the remaining graham cracker crumbs and lime zest before serving.

{NO BAKE} KEY LIME CHEESECAKE PARFAITS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter.
• Using a handheld electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Beat in the condensed milk, key lime juice, granulated sugar, and lime zest until creamy and well incorporated.
• Place mixture in the fridge for about 1-2 hours to firm up. (This step is optional, but it makes it easier to pipe.)
• Transfer mixture to a piping bag.
• Alternate the graham cracker crumbs and the cheesecake mousse into 8, 8 ounce canning jars (starting with the crackers and ending with the mousse.) Secure with lids.
• Place in the fridge for about 3 hours to set completely.
• Unfasten lids, pipe some whipped cream on top and garnish with lime zest.
• Serve and enjoy!

NO-BAKE KEY LIME PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Lightly spray a 9-inch deep dish pie pan with nonstick spray.
• In a food processor or doubled gallon-sized resealable plastic bags, crush the graham crackers into crumbs. Add the sugar, lime zest and salt and mix to combine. Add the butter and process or toss to evenly coat the crumbs. Transfer to the prepared pan and press into an even layer on the bottom and up to the top edge of the pie pan. Freeze while making the filling.
• For the filling: Add the water to a microwaveable cereal-size bowl. Sprinkle with the gelatin in an even layer and set aside to let it absorb the water.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the cream cheese and lime zest on medium speed until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Stop the mixer and scrape the bowl and paddle and mix on high until completely smooth and free of lumps, about 30 seconds. Add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and salt and mix on low speed until combined. Scrape the bowl and paddle and mix on medium speed until completely smooth, at least 1 minute. With the mixer running on low speed, gradually add the lime juice and mix until smooth. Scrape the bowl and mix for another 30 seconds.
• Microwave the gelatin in 6-second increments, stirring after each, until clear and fully melted, 18 to 20 seconds. The gelatin will feel warm. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture and stir into the warm gelatin until smooth.
• With the mixer running on medium speed, immediately pour the gelatin into the remaining cream cheese mixture and mix until incorporated, 10 to 20 seconds, stopping to scrape the bowl as needed.
• Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate uncovered to chill overnight.
• For the whipped cream: Combine the honey, salt and a splash of the cream in your stand mixer bowl. Use the whisk attachment to combine the honey and cream by hand, mixing until mostly smooth. Add the remaining cream, attach the whisk attachment to the stand mixer and whip on medium-high speed until medium soft peaks form.
• Dollop the whipped cream around the surface of the pie filling.
• For finishing: Zest the lime evenly over the whipped cream. Serve immediately or refrigerate any leftovers for up to 2 days.

KEY LIME PARFAITS

Steps:

• 1. Melt butter in heavy small skillet over medium heat. Mix in brown sugar and stir until bubbling, about 1 minute or less. Mix in crumbs; stir until color deepens, about 3 minutes. Turn out onto plate and cool.
• 2. To make the Key lime cream, stir condensed milk, lime juice and lime peel in large bowl to blend (mixture will thicken). Set aside while you make sweetened whipped cream.
• 3. For whipped cream topping, beat 2 cups whipping cream in bowl until stiff peaks start to form. Add 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Make sure the bowl and the beaters are cold. It helps if you put the bowl in the freezer and the beaters 10 minutes before you make the whipped cream.
• 4. Using electric mixer, beat cream in medium bowl until firm peaks form; fold 1 cup of whipped cream into key lime cream mixture. Save the remaining whipped cream for topping the parfaits.
• 5. Place 1/4 cup lime mousse in each of six 8- to 10-ounce wine goblets. Top each with 1 tablespoon crumb mixture, then 1/4 cup mousse. Top parfaits with remaining crumb mixture. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours. Just before serving, add a generous dollop of whipped cream.
